BOBA FACTORY INC – FDA Warning Letter, Feb 19, 2026

On April 22, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Boba Factory Inc. following an inspection of its facility in Chantilly, Virginia, conducted between February 9 and February 19, 2026. The inspection focused on the company"s compliance with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA determined that Boba Factory Inc. significantly violated food safety regulations by failing to develop, maintain, and follow an FSVP for its imported products, specifically non-dairy creamer, flavoring syrup, and dry custard mix. These programs are mandatory for importers to verify that foreign-produced food meets U.S. safety standards. The FDA warned that continued non-compliance could result in the refusal of imported goods at the border and the placement of products on a detention list without physical examination. To rectify these issues, Boba Factory Inc. is required to submit a written response within 15 working days detailing the corrective actions taken. This response must include documentation such as copies of the newly established verification programs and evidence of their implementation. If full compliance cannot be achieved within the 15-day window, the company must provide a formal explanation for the delay and a timeline for completion.
